MORTGAGE

Per Florida Statute 28.222
Official Records are documents which are required by Florida Law to be recorded in the Official Records Series of each county. These documents are presented for recording by the public as well as the court system and include, but are not limited to: deeds, plats, mortgages, liens, affidavits, subdivision plats, judgments, declarations of domicile, satisfactions and releases, powers of attorney, and financing statements. This series of records is designed to create a permanent record of these important documents.
The Recording Department of the Clerk's office is responsible for the recording, protecting, preserving, and disseminating of official records. Many other services relating to official records are available from this department. In 1998 we installed an optical imaging system for the search and storage of public records. This system greatly enhances and simplifies the maintenance of these records as well as providing better public access to the records not only in the office but through internet searches as well.

Effective June 1st, 2008
The Nassau County Clerk of Court will no longer be accepting DR-219 forms. The Governor has signed HB 7019, which repeals section 201.022 of the Florida Statutes. This means as of June 1st, 2008, you will no longer be required to submit the Florida Department of Revenue DR-219 form with any document transferring interest in real property. If the correct amount of doc stamps is not paid, this could result in penalties owed to and collected by the Florida Department of Revenue. The Documentary Stamp Tax is based on $0.70 per $100.00 of the sale price, or outstanding mortgage balance. In order for us to record your document(s), you must be sure to include a minimum of $0.70 with each conveyance. Please take note of this change and adjust your records as necessary. If you have any questions please contact the Recording department.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have lost my deed, what can I do?
A: You may purchase a copy from the Recording Department at any of the two Clerk of Courts offices in Nassau County. If you wish to have the copy certified, it is then the equivalent of the original document.
Q: How can I change my name on my deed?
A: A new deed will need to be prepared by you or your attorney. It must then be recorded in the Clerk's Official Records.
Q: How Can I determine how much was paid for a parcel of land?
A: Divide the total amount of documentary stamp tax paid by the rate per hundred dollars in that year. The rate changes every year or so as determined by the Florida Legislature, and this list can be obtained from through the Clerk of Courts Recording Department
